Unlock the Az-Tech Golden Doors in Astro Bot: A Guide

Astro Bot’s levels are primarily linear, however there are instances where the game will present unexpected obstacles without much context. Such is the case in Az-Tech Trail, the second major level in the game. Here, you encounter a barrier of golden tiles with no clear indication of how to proceed. In this guide, we will detail the steps for opening these Az-Tech golden doors in Astro Bot.

How to Open Gold Tile Doors in Astro Bot

To begin, approach the gold door and continue pushing forward on it. The camera will zoom in closer, revealing Astro Bot with his hand on the door and the bottom row of tiles glowing green. It will appear like this:

While moving back and forth across the squares, pay close attention for a high-pitched sound. Additionally, you will notice a subtle vibration in your PS5 controller when you land on a specific tile. This is the tile that requires proper interaction in order to open the door.

After identifying the loose tile using the provided feedback clues, use the left stick to move towards it and reach it. Astro Bot will then push the tile into the door, creating a visible impact like the following:

To ensure that the door opens correctly, continue running through it. As you progress through the game, you will encounter more challenging levels with multiple doors in a row, including the occasional vertical one. Therefore, it is advisable to master this technique from the beginning.
